Corners Report: another look at 2026 risers and fallers

We had a bit of a casual theme here! All cool children look at the future and such, such as here and here. This is my meager contribution!

Come to the end, and I realized that I think I will have two weeks left after this! I am looking for the ranks of my next year in one of these. It’s time to look to the future.

Well, not entirely. There is a month and changes in the season. But the focus here will shift to the future. It is interesting and there is a lot of content on this site with daily notes and whatever. Part of this will update your thinking about some current boys (as it did for me!), And others can confirm your prejudices.

Freddie Freeman: 2nd round pick this year

Freeman has a typical Freeman year minus the home runs. He is at the age of 18 in the season, which is fine. The stroke average is great at .302, but the speed has disappeared. He is only four. Given his age (36 next season), Freeman cannot be counted as a cornerstone in the first two rounds. Give me all Freddie afterwards. He should remain a solid producer, a kind of solidificator. With age, his bat speed has fallen step by step and is now 17% of the competition.

Judgment: If you can get it next year, wait for the round 3 or 4 area. He gets older, the cliff can come at any time and there is already a physical decline. It should be safe, but only if you have two cornerstones. Another option would be Freeman if you take a pitcher in the first two rounds for some reason, but you read Razzball so that you would not dare!

Rafael Devers: 2-3 round this year

Oracle Park (the stage of the Giant, in case you have not kept any strange naming trends) is notoriously tough on left -handed Power Hitters that are not on steroids. There is a 25-foot wall in the right, cold and gloomy weather, and left center is deep. It is a lower three park in the competition for left -handed Power Hitters.

Dang it, Rafael Devers happens to be a left -handed force itter. This is not good.

It was an extremely weird season for Devers. He started with the disintegration of almost every battle. Then he caught fire, but angry the buyer of Red Sox and he was treated to San Fran. Now he hits .226/.336/.410 in his time on the west coast. He has never been an athletic type and he is what the scouts call an “old 28” year old. I will only touch him the 7-8 round, so then. That price probably praise myself from him, but it is that way. There are just way too many red flags to overcome his home park.

Judgment: Round 8-10 for me, which means that I will not get it because of his name value. Someone will hope for the rebound, and that’s just okay.

Junior Caminero: Round 5-6 preseason

Caminero is 21 years old. He has 39 home runs before September. 94 RBI. Batting on average 14 points above the competition average. Yes, this is a long -termactive here. As soon as he uses the best swing speed of the competition, this is a fantasy sample for the next decade.

Judgment: Get him in round two, he is actually the perfect man to combine with Freeman. Electric talent, and will be a value in the second round.

Bryce Harper: Round 2-3 preseason

This hurts me. Harper has been my choice for ten years and he is not 32. He is only 15 on the assessor at first base. The profile has shifted from “multi -year MVP candidate” to “solid player”. I will always take it higher than most, but the elite horse of his game is in the rearview mirror. Still valuable because he collects statistics for his CV Van Hall of Fame, but not what he ever was.

Judgment: To get value back, probably in the 5th round.

Here are the ADP data of the preseason, and my view of these guys and their values ​​for next year. I used compound values ​​of fantasy prawn of the five most important sites.
